Mallorca and the Balearic Islands offer easy sailing with lots of secluded coves and beaches. Take a week or two to circumnavigate the island, or perhaps a one way trip to nearby Menorca or Ibiza!

The sheltered bays, dramatic mountainous coastlines of the West, and the tranquil calas and coves of the East make Mallorca a beautiful spot to spend time on a boat in the Mediterranean Sea.

The position of the Balearic islands is such that they create a ‘Mediterranean front’ and so local winds are very favourable for sailing.

Weather in Mallorca

The Balearic Islands have mild seasonal weather throughout the year. On average, there are at least 300 days of sun each year. Rain occurs mostly in winter (Oct.-Dec.), but brief showers can occur throughout the year.

Temperature: Summer average high = 30°C (86°F). Winter average high = 16°C (60°F). In winter, the nighttime temperature rarely drops below 0°C (32°F). Average sea temperatures range from 14°C (57°F) in winter to 26°C (79°F) in late summer. High Season: June-September. Avoid the crowds by visiting in the spring or fall (May or October) when the daytime temperatures are still warm and sunny. Winds: The risk of strong winds is highest Oct.-April. The Scirocco (southerly in spring) and the Mistral (northwesterly in autumn) are tempered by the Gulf of Lion and bring heavy seas.

The Levant is an easterly wind that blows in the western Mediterranean Sea. Minorca is known as the island of wind due to a cool, dry north wind called the tramuntana, which makes the island popular with sailors and surfers.
